My main question is, what is the purpose of identifying as a different race? If that question can be answered, a lot of other questions get answered with it.

Here’s an X-cretion about what you’re talking about I read the other day. The thread is wild. Breaking the rule since it’s very relevant.

So "sex negative" means different things to different people, I gather. Either anti-porn, anti-physical abuse, or anti-public sex.

I can already see cleavages in Gen Z and onward in response to applying trans identities to spheres beyond gender. The response to the case of Rachel Dolezal and the idea of being ‘trans-racial’ was quite revealing, for example.
Oh god, trans-race... Yeah that's a whole 'nother can of worms.
In the future I could see "trans" being a stigmatized term, and people are simply the gender they identify as without any acknowledgement of their birth identity. On that same token, not being attracted to someone who is a woman, born a man, might also be stigmatized as discriminatory. It's interesting because when it comes to physical attraction, even amongst the most socially liberal individuals, there's some acknowledgement that race plays a role. And since we know attraction can be learned or nurtured, how long will it be before that's all stigmatized?

I’ve decided that these rulings are actually more likely to be a boon for Trump than not. I haven’t looked into the actual letter of the law, so they might be the right decision from a purely legal perspective. But politically they’re going to help boost grassroots turnout and fundraising for him, at least for now.
I believe the Georgia case might be a different story, though, depending on what comes out about what he did. (these cases don’t reveal anything we didn’t already know). And regardless I think the election will ultimately turn on other things. I’m crossing my fingers that we’ll avoid a recession next year and that Biden can broker some kind of peace deal in the Israel/Gaza conflict. That will be more consequential than any of this IMO.
Also, one last minor point: fuck Trump.
I failed my economics class in high school so forgive me, but why do you think a recession is still on the table next year? Because of international events?

I sometimes wonder if there's an eventual line with progressivism that I won't cross. Like if 20-30 years what's considered progressive goes too far for me.
It's like how a lot of boomers who were into the peace movement, free love and all that were considered VERY liberal for their time compared to their parents, are now basically all chuds pretty much. My mom who is pretty racist doesn't think she is probably because compared to the environment she was raised in, she's very open-minded. I'm WAY liberal compared to my parents but where will I sit on the scale decades from now?

I don't disagree with the reasoning but I still think this is largely futile.

A lot of them comedians who feel all types comedy should be allowable.
Seems more like social liberals with libertarian ideals that followed the same cow trail all libertarians eventually fall into towards the alt right.

Supreme Court boxed into corner over Donald Trump decision
WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM
Donald Trump has been removed from the Colorado ballot, but the U.S. Supreme Court may be able to save his candidacy.In its decision, the Colorado Supreme Court quoted Neil Gorsuch, who was a Colorado judge when he blocked a presidential candidate from the state ballot in 2012. In the 2012 ruling, Gorsuch noted that the independent candidate, Abdul Hassan, was born in Guyana, which excluded him from running for president and that Colorado has the right to set its own ballot rules.
"One of the things that you'll find in this ruling is some reliance is based on writings of Neil Gorsuch -- Justice Gorsuch -- and what he had to say about protecting ballots from people who did not belong on them," Nicolais told CBS News after Tuesday's Colorado Supreme Court decision. "So I think there's actually a very good chance we can win at the U.S. Supreme Court level."
Very interesting! They certainly tee'd this up in anticipation of a SCOTUS hearing.

Pretty cool! I can't back this up, but I suspect our DNA holds of a lot of historical strategies that don't typically manifest but allow for very fast adaptation of the population because it's kind of already there.
I was literally just thinking this might actually be a regression to an older way of reproducing before pollinating insects. It's WAY easier for species to turn old genes on/new genes off than develop an entirely new gene.

I want them to scrap this whole Kang thing and move on to another villain. He's been a huge flop as a "big bad" imo.
Even without the drama behind the actor, I had zero hype for Kang the Conqueror. He got his ass beat in Quantumania, so I guess we're supposed to be excited to watch that happen XX amount more times.
Besides, with how Loki S2 ended, they have a perfect escape card from that storyline.

It's like taking a dump. You gotta take a dump to keep your body working. Imagine a reddit for abstaining from shitting. There'd be shit coming out of their mouths.
Incidentally that's how the MAGA movement was formed.
